I have been an avid fan of football for many years, especially Liverpool but no more, I am feeling very disillusioned, why oh why do we have to have all the kneeling before the start of a match, I think we have got the message now, football is football , lets just stick to that. I believe it started with the policeman and black criminal in the US, who happened to be a burglar who actually held a gun to a pregnant woman and was high on drugs so no saint, so why all this fuss, months later, its the anniversary of two policemen killed by black men, could we have a dedication to them , probably not

No it didn't - you need to educate yourself.

I’m also an avid football supporter, watched two games today, but also proud of players taking the knee before games, in football and other sports.

Where on earth did you get that from?
Even French students had to study this, for the English part of the bac two years ago.
